Finding Your Roots

I started with Rosanne, and discovered that she was actually a little ahead of me. It turns out that her father was a genealogy buff and had traced his Cash ancestry back to Scotland, where some of the ballads that inspired his songs originated. Roseanne has been delighted by this connection since she first learned of it. I love Scotland. I love the Scots, and I love the music. That sense of melancholy, sense of history in those ballads. It just felt right to me. And then, when I first went to that area where the Cash names were around near Falkland. Strathmiglo is the name of the town. Mm-hm. I felt this sense of home, you know. Yeah. Deep connection. Isn't that a special feeling? Don't tell me it's not true. (laughing) -

I was certainly not about to correct Johnny Cash's genealogical research which as it turned out was quite good. (soft instrumental music)
